I have 64 separate files(documents) which I am trying to put together into
one file.
As for a booklet. Can someone please help me and be explicit? I have put
three of them in a new folder but they are still separate. Boy, will I thank
you!

Simply use your word processor of choice to
copy and paste" the contents of each separate document into one.

I'm pretty sure there is a way to merge files, but I can't recall it at the
moment.

One way (Office 2007 instructions):

Open the first document (the one that'll be at the front of the booklet).
Click on Insert (what used to be pulldown menus at the top of the document.
Now it opens into a "ribbon.")
On the far right of the ribbon is a box labeled "text." Inside that box is
a choice labeled "object" with a down arrow next to it. Click on the arrow
and choose "text from file."
File the file that would be next in the booklet and choose it.
That should put the contents of that file after the contents of the first
file.
Go to the end of that text and do the same process looking for the third
file for the booklet.
Rinse, lather, repeat.

Also, you might get better advice in an Office newsgroup.

Are you using Microsoft Word 2003 or 2007

While this is perhap not a Vista issue, I will endeavour to help as fa
as I can, but you may have better luck getting the answer if you were t
post your question to a Microsoft Office related forum or newsgroup

In Microsoft Word 2003 and older, you can use the Insert > File feature,
select the file you would like to add to the document and the text will be
imported from an existing Word file or RTF file selected.

In Word 2007, the Insert File command has been renamed Text from File and
moved to the Object menu on the Insert tab in Microsoft Office Word 2007.
